Granny Danger Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is anyone genuinely surprised at this hypocrisy? Cameron gave the country a vote on Europe because he was concerned for the impact of UKIP and right wingers in his own rank on the Tory Party and because he was convinced Remain would win; he knew leaving Europe would be a disaster but was willing to take the gamble for narrow party political reasons. May is doing exactly the same thing even though her hypocrisy is clear to see. She won't take part in any televised debates during the campaign. Why? Because she would be torn to shreds, she would be unable to answer simple, key questions. By oppossing a second Independence Referendum whilst calling a GE shows her attitude to Scotland as one of total disdain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll know Labour have next to no chance of winning, plus the next scheduled election was one year after Brexit, so why not hold a General Election now, even if Brexit is a disaster there will be no chance of getting voted out in 2020, and by 2022 the dust may have settled so to speak.

Material change in Scotland's circumstances. What specifically has changed from the multiple and repeated assertions that May wouldn't call an election before 2020. There are some proper snivelling tory c***s on p and b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By oppossing a second Independence Referendum whilst calling a GE shows her attitude to Scotland as one of total disdain. To be fair, I'm not really sure Cameron could have avoided offering one. I think the worry was a challenge by another wing of the party and it was inevitable to happen if they took a majority.It was his shitebaggery during the campaign and an almost half arsed approach with no orders to draft up plans that was irresponsible.

Guest Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The Tory party is simply power mad to ensure they look after their own.Anyone buying the we will govern for all the people really are naive. She will get her landslide and you can rewind to the Thatchers years and the I'm all right Jack mentality. They turn my stomach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
